Rogueshot's Therapy Thread

It's a lot easier to explain a successful result than one that fails. It's really pretty simple, in terms of the lower PS, but your doctor may be completely unaware of the trigger sensitivity. Educate him/her.

Good day all,
I have my meeting this afternoon with the doc. I'll share any feedback I get. 

The patient portal I am required to use to share data is so limited that I basically just shared the screenshots from Oscar. I've asked if they need/want further data. I'm interested to hear their response. It was fun to share last night's data of 0.13 AHI. For all my years being on bipap, never before do I recall a night with just 1 event total...never ever has happened.

Thanks all!

How bout that?!

Doc was understanding about tweaks to settings; advice was to stay the course; check back in 6 months. Getting me connected to a supplier so I can try some different masks/chin straps and use insurance to cover.

They did ask if I wanted a new machine that would transmit data using wifi (mine stopped given the 5G change over) but I turned it down as my system works fine and I didn't want to take away a machine from someone in need given all the supply chain issues.

Later.

So an update. All my numbers since changing over to Vauto and to high sensitivity have been under 1.0, which has been great.

But I have this lingering tired feeling in/around my eyes. Like I'm groggy and do have bags under them. It's weird - I don't feel tired but my eyes make it seem like I am.

Any suggestions?

I was reading about possible micro-arrousals but have really no idea. My doc mentioned getting a new mask implying the tight fit I currently do with my mask might might cause the feeling. I'm trying to schedule a time to do that.

Here's my recent results. Given how I can now sleep on any side/back my mask has been slipping and definitely having more leaks as well I noticed I'm drooling more and have periods of a dry mouth/throat. So, I just ordered some lip tape to see how that works. I also still am trying to setup a mtg to try new masks.

But, if any suggestions on tweaking of settings to get me to feel more rested are appreciated. 

Take care.

Looks fine to me, but I'm kind of nonchalant about my own results and have not uploaded a SD card since June 4. Your pressure is steady, event rate is low and you are at the point of just tweaking minor stuff from night to night. I would not worry at all about that leak rate either.
